YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY GLS-260 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY GLS-260 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC turning center engineered for precision and versatility in demanding production environments. It features a robust single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 15.740 inches, a turning length of 13.380 inches, and a 10-inch chuck, supporting a maximum bar diameter of 2.550 inches. The main spindle delivers up to 20 HP and operates at speeds up to 3,500 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and high-quality surface finishes. The machine is equipped with a turret-style primary tool carrier, accommodating up to 12 turning tools and 6 rotary (live) tools, each with up to 2.1 HP and speeds up to 4,400 RPM, enabling advanced milling, drilling, and tapping operations. The GLS-260 supports up to 3 axes (X, Z, and optional Y), with X-axis travel of 8.460 inches, Z-axis travel of 20.470 inches, and rapid traverse rates of 945 ipm on all axes, ensuring fast and accurate positioning. Maximum feed rates are 189 ipm, optimizing cycle times. The design allows for simultaneous use of one cutting tool, with the flexibility to expand functionality with optional Y-axis and sub-spindle configurations. This machining center combines high power, precision, and multi-tasking capability, making it ideal for complex, high-volume machining applications.
